Nagios Xi in VMplayer

Post by perezlou »

I am new to Nagios.

I have installed the VMplayer and downloaded the Nagiosxi VMware virtual machine image. Installation and setup is completed and I can logon to the dashboard using Internet Explorer on the local machine where the VMplayer is running. However, if I go to another workstation and attempt to connect IE reports, " Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage ". The machines are on the same subnet, the VM network adapter is set to "bridged" and the Windows machines do not have the firewalls enabled.

Can anyone help with why this would not be working?

Can you ping the ip of the nagios server from the other windows box and vice versa (ping the windows server from the nagios vm)?

Also, see what do you have in the apache access log - run:

Code: Select all

grep <ip address of the machine that you are trying to access XI from> --color /var/log/httpd/access_log

Yes

vmplayer host workstation xxx.xxx.xxx.85
vmplayer xxx.xxx.xxx.88

Both addresses respond to pings

The remote terminal and the VMplayer host are both Windows XP SP3

This command needs to be run on the nagios system, not on the windows machine. You can access this via vmware's console interface or ssh.

Code: Select all

grep <ip address of the machine that you are trying to access XI from> --color /var/log/httpd/access_log
